Odds are that you are not familiar with the name Kari Voutilainen, but let me tell you more about this name you from “the path less traveled”, so to speak. Kari Voutilainen replica watch is a highly regarded independent watchmaker, having blazed his own path for several decades now after stints at Parmigiani and the WOSTEP watchmaking school (as both student and instructor). Voutilainen also occasionally works with other brands or independent watchmakers and has collaborated with the likes of Maîtres du Temps (Chapter Three) and MB&F, to name a couple. He also developed Calibre 28 (Vingt-8) with two escape wheels and direct impulse to the balance, requiring no lubrication, and a tourbillon with detent
His watches are of a traditional style, with immaculate finishing and modest egos — they are some of the finest watches money can buy, for discerning collectors. Technical stylish fake Voutilainen creations include a the first repeater with a double strike indicating not the more usual quarter-hours but ten-minute intervals (aka, a decimal repeater). escapement.
Now, to the objet d’art at hand. This year, he will introduce a new model, the GMR. It is quite simply an irresistible timepiece for lover’s of independent horology.
Voutilainen GMR
Limited edition 12 pieces (total)
39 mm white gold, rose gold, or platinum case
Limited to just 12 pieces, the Voutilainen GMR GMT power reseve double time zone replica is based on the Vingt-8 (Twenty-8) chronometer caliber. Crafted in German silver, it is completely designed and handmade in his workshop. Ingeniously, it allows you to adjust the second time zone by the crown, which then advances by jumping an hour each time rather than rotate freely, thus avoiding any loss of accuracy compared to local time. A sapphire crystal caseback provides the opportunity to admire the traditional finishings of the movement and its finishes which include Côtes de Genève and hand chamfering (unfortunately no pics of this yet).
The dial also distills a refined elegance, as we see Voutilainen’s in-house dial making capabilities put to good work in the GMR, notably its distinctive dark green dial with guilloche finish and red accents. The GMT indication is at 6 o’clock, concentrically set just outside of the small seconds subdial (itself with a cubic guilloche finish); at 12 o’clock, the retrograde power reserve indicator. The hands, the dial, the colors, even the applied Romans — exquisite.
The GMR is priced at 118,000 Swiss francs in platinum and 108,000 Swiss francs in gold.
A good example of what you mind find on the road less traveled, if you dare to venture.
